About me:
Not to consider "I am this," that is freedom.
School Reports: I had a comprehensive education...
1974 "Writes some interesting stories."
1975 "Enjoys drawing and painting - in which he is painstakingly tidy."
1975 "A quiet well-mannered serious boy."
1976 "I think he sometimes worries too much."
1978 "He is very reserved."
1978 "Some poor marks show a lack of effort."
1980 "Shows originality and determination. If he can maintain his obvious keen approach to his artwork he will become a skilled craftsman of quality. A little more preparation and thought over his work may help his obvious talent to develop as it should."
Who I'd like to meet: "If you have a hero, look again: you have diminished yourself in some way"
